that will get the neighborhood talking; something your kids'

is pleased to present this 1929 Ford Model A Phaeton Restomod. This
unit was one of 49,818 Model A Phaetons built in 1929. Finished in
a semi-exotic red-orange, the paint and trim are in overall very
good order, with just the slightest evidence of blemishes close up.
The car's body work is straight, the tan phaeton folding top is
good order, the engine bay is quite tidy and the bumpers are in
satisfactory condition. Up front are cowl lights while in back is a
fold-down luggage rack for additional storage. Understood to be a
Ford 302 CID V-8 engine breathing via dual exhausts replaces this
A-bone's original 201 CID inline four-cylinder. Backing up this V-8
motor is Ford's FMX three-speed automatic transmission (which
replaced the original three-speed sliding gear manual) and a
nine-inch Ford rear-end with Traction-Lok. This restomod uses a
Ford Mustang front suspension and coilovers in back along with
four-wheel disc brakes. This A-bone rolls on radials, 195/75R14 in
front and 235/70SR15 in rear. Each donut surrounds an American
Racing chrome spoke wheel. All of the wheels and tires are in very
good order. Inside, the newly upholstered interior looks great. The
bench seats are ready to haul at least five people while the
matching carpet is in fine shape. An aftermarket steering wheel,
with tilt and telescoping features, faces the driver; the inner
door panels and red-orange metal instrument panel are in very good
condition. The Model A came in a wide variety of styles including a
Coupe (Standard and Deluxe), Business Coupe, Sport Coupe, Roadster
Coupe (Standard and Deluxe), Convertible Cabriolet, Convertible
Sedan, Phaeton (Standard and Deluxe), Tudor Sedan (Standard and
Deluxe), Town Car, Fordor (five-window standard, three-window
deluxe), Victoria, Town Sedan, Station Wagon, Taxicab, Truck, and
Commercial. The very rare Special Coupe started production around
March 1928 and ended mid-1929. The Model A was the first Ford to
use the standard set of driver controls with conventional clutch
and brake pedals, throttle, and gearshift. Previous Fords used
controls that had become uncommon to drivers of other makes. The
Model A's fuel tank was situated in the cowl, between the engine
compartment's firewall and the dash panel. It had a visual fuel
gauge, and the fuel flowed to the carburetor by gravity. A
rear-view mirror was optional. In cooler climates, owners could
purchase an aftermarket cast iron unit to place over the exhaust
manifold to provide heat to the cab. A small door provided
adjustment of the amount of hot air entering the cab. The Model A
was the first car to have safety glass in the windshield. Hot
rodders, particular those with an affinity for these A-bones or
just someone who wants an instantly recognizable classic car,
